    Cheeseburger. You pick the toppings
    Mrs C.

    You gotta try. Fun Street art, and stickers, and license plates everywhere. Grab an empty burger "sleeve" and pick your burger type. Pay at register. Sit and wait. You get a receipt with a movie related name. They call out your "name" and deliver that "sleeve" to your table with your burger in it. Voted best burger the past 2 years. Sit inside or out.

    YUM! Our uber driver, who was a local, drove by this spot on our way out of Golden... He pointed it out and said he drives 25-30 minutes out of his way to get a burger here... Naturally, we had to stop in for lunch the following day. He was not wrong! The wait staff was kind, we both ordered burgers with sweet potato fries and onion rings. The burgers were insane (good) and they loaded us up with sides of fries and rings - we had to take some to go. Very lowkey spot - we dressed in running shorts and tshirts and sat outside, looking at the Coors brewery and they bring your food right to your table. Overall, great experience and will definitely be back here!

    Bob's Atomic Burgers is an interesting and unique little burger joint with solid food. We dined in after a nearby hike. We ordered the daily special burger, a regular burger, onion rings and a kids lettuce wrapped burger. My daughter has a dairy allergy and good thing the lady at the counter checked the ingredients of the bun because it contains milk. It's a small and funky little spot serving solid food.

    The line out the door told me all I needed to know about this place. It's a simple, old school burger joint. The menu isn't extensive but what they do, they do it right. Seating indoors is limited but there's ample patio space to enjoy the scenery. After the lengthy wait to place our order, the food arrived shortly after and it was absolutely worth the wait. The four of us ordered fries and onion rings to share at the table and we all left satisfied. This place is a must stop if you enjoy a good burger.

    Delicious! Long wait that was worth it, if weather is nice it's a great experience. They have great salsa as well.

    From outside, this place does NOT look like somewhere that would have good food. My friend who lives in the Denver area suggested it and I was a little hesitant. When we got there, it was very busy with all the outdoor seating taken and a line out the door. Before getting to the cashier, you fill out a sleeve depending on what you want (burger, hot dog, or chicken sandwich). I got a burger, so I had to mark off what bun, toppings, and extras I wanted. At the cashier, you give them your sleeve and order any sides or drinks that you want. They then give you a random name for your order (I got Leatherface). When the order is done, they announce the funny name and bring the food to you. The burger was juicy and filling. I also shared fries and onion rings, which were both good as well. The fries were on the salty side, which I do like. Outside the restaurant has a view of the mountains and the Coors factory. Great price point and great food... can't beat that!

    Excuse my messy fingerprints!

    Bob's Atomic Burgers is always packed. There's always a line. Random movie stars, fictional characters and historical figures are bellowed throughout the small digs. IYKYK. Why would people wait? Why does anyone wait? The wait is worth it. Bob's prides themselves on simple ingredients, cooked to order every time, and nothing prepped in a hurry. Your patience will pay off. And no, you won't be waiting any longer than you would anywhere else. My burger was huge. That's my fault, though, as I choose more than a few yummy toppings. I could barely hold it in my hand. I also had a strawberry milkshake and loved the over the top creaminess. I left distended and smiling, haha. We love Bob's. We've never left disappointed. That says a lot all by itself. Def check them out. Simple food but amazingly good food.

    Menu

    Good burger and sweet potato fries, with great customer service. Fill out what you want off the menu as you come in the door, then head to the counter to order and pay. Would definitely eat here again.

    This is easily one of the top hamburger spots in town. The beef patties are consistently juicy and flavorful, complemented by perfectly melted cheese. What truly elevates the experience is the outstanding customer service--the cashier and servers are friendly, attentive, and create a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for both quality food and excellent service. They ground beef every morning for all their beef patties!

    What a great find! If you are in the area,go eat here. The service was wonderful. Such nice people and the food was amazing. I got shrimp and grits for breakfast and it was a winner winner.

    Super divey with a view. The smell outside brings you in from a mile away. They have a little something for everyone. You fill out your order on the bag and bring it to the cashier. The wait was short and you can sit outside looking at Coors if you can grab a seat inside if you can.

    Onion rings, sweet potato fries, and BIG burgers!

    Amazing burger and fries! We stopped here after our tour of the coors brewery. It really hit the spot!!

    I've had multiple burgers here through the years traveling through Golden. I haven't been disappointed yet. Good service and kind of a dive bar feel. It get a little packed sometimes but it's worth the wait.

I said it was the best burger I ever ate. My husband, whose hobbies include crushing joy with logic, said, "No it wasn't. It was an ordinary burger. You only think it's amazing because you almost died." Had to settle that debate, so we tried it without the kill-me-hike warmup this time. Food I don't like my burgers swimming in their own juicy filth. And these burgers are dry, juicy, beefy, and didn't almost drown in their own fat. Even the bun (brioche, I think) stayed dry as summer heat. Plus, their fries are that kind that almost seem battered. Crisp on the outside, potato-y on the inside. We also tried the deviled eggs, which was a nice update to an old classic. Atmosphere This is perfectly casual with outdoor dining (great for dogs). Big umbrellas and coverage from the summer sun. I've never eaten inside because why. Service Perfectly competent. Nobody gave us a pony. Nobody accidentally set us on fire. The food arrived quickly, while the check took its own scenic route through the restaurant. Everyone was friendly. No complaints. Value Expensive burgers at $18-22 each. But I only have burgers a few times a year, so when I do, I'm going to demand one of these from now on.

    Solid 5 stars for a buffet (probably a solid 4 just as a pizza place)…read more This is our second time stopping here on vacation -- going back to Woody's was actually one of the reasons we wanted to hit Golden again. It's on the south side of the main downtown drag. It gets quite busy even at off-peak times, so there's usually a wait of some kind. Head up to the door, get on their list, and they'll call you when your seats are ready. We got a little lucky since there were only two of us and there was open bar seating -- we sat at the bar, had a beer, and did the pizza buffet from there. It's not just a buffet, either. You can order off the menu, get your own personal pizza, or do a two-slice-and-a-salad deal, which is a cheaper version if you don't want the unlimited all-you-can-eat. They also have a full-service bar with cocktails, beer, and everything else you'd want. Salad bar -- one of the best buffet-type salad bars I've found. It's not the largest -- the salad section doesn't go on for miles, it's actually a pretty small setup -- but everything is fresh and the range of ingredients is big. Fresh salads, multiple dressings, several crunchy toppings, a bunch of vegetables, black olives, peppers, and two or three different proteins to add. Really, really like it. Also included with the salad bar buffet is their beer soup -- kind of a cheese soup. I skipped it this time since I didn't want to get that full, but I've had it in the past and it's super solid. Definitely something to try on a cold day. Pizza buffet, under $20/person -- there's a window with all the pizza sitting out, usually four to six at a time, right behind where they're making and cooking them. You can walk up and request whatever you'd like -- the chefs are right there, so you can say "hey, can I get a barbecue chicken pizza?" and they'll put one together and set it in the window. The range is usually about three normal pizzas -- pepperoni, supreme, plain cheese -- and three odder ones, like a buffalo chicken or a beef barbecue cheddar. I also saw one with ricotta and prosciutto. So they're not just doing standard pies; there's a really big range to choose from. The pizza quality is good. I wouldn't call it super thin crust, and it's not super thick where the toppings are -- but the edge of the crust is a thicker, doughy handle you can grip and gnaw on, and it's very tender and flavorful. If you're a crust eater, you'll like this crust, and you can dip it in sauces or dressings from the salad bar. Service was top notch and everybody there was friendly. One thing that stood out: the bartender asked the guy sitting next to us if everything was good, and he said he was just waiting on a buffalo chicken pizza. She called straight over to the kitchen and had them cook one. They still put it out on the buffet, but he got exactly what he wanted. Pro tip: Under $20 a person might sound like a lot, but come hungry and it's a steal. I ate probably fourteen slices -- I drove down here with the intent to get full, and it wasn't a bad full. Highly suggest going, and I'd return if I find myself in Golden, Colorado again.

    If I lived here (Denver) I would pretty much live here (Woody's)…read more The soup, salad, and pizza combo buffet is where it's AT! The beer cheese soup is where it's AT!

My son had the barbecue wings and they were very good. They had been smoked instead of just thrown in the fryer which was a nice touch.
